On-demand parking platform YourParkingSpace is providing NHS workers with free parking across the UK – and will expand the scheme to other critical workers too.

There are 943 car parks available to book free of charge, comprised of shopping centres, hotels and supermarkets, with many located near health facilities

NHS workers just need to register on YourParkingSpace and will then be provided with a unique code enabling them to use their NHS credentials to reserve spaces in more than 900 car parks throughout the country, many of which are near health facilities. Further spaces are expected to follow.

YourParkingSpace also intends to extend the scheme to other key services workers over the coming weeks.

Harrison Woods, chief executive officer of YourParkingSpace, said: “In these unprecedented times, it’s important that we do what we can to help. With reduced public transport in many places and increased movement of health workers, we’re pleased to be working alongside supermarkets, shopping centres and hotels to assist key workers in this small way. We plan to add new spaces to the platform every day – hopefully it’s something that helps to make things easier for NHS staff and other key services workers.”
